Hey, our heads up race was close!

10.38@135 1.68 60ft :no: Then my fuel mixed and my ethanol content went down from 72- 50 :fuuuu: After that a bunch of 10.5s Couldn't hook to save my life, but had a blast hanging out at the track with everyone! I love being a part of it, and will continue to support that portion of the event as long as CR will have me. BUT as a clarification, my job is easy... I get the trophies. lol The real thanks for the HARD work such as coordinating, and actually putting True Street on go to Wagner, Anthony, Tina, and I'm sure many others. I know I saw Paul helping out today as well. If I forgot to mention someone, my bad. Point being, Thank all of you for spending your time for others enjoyment :thumbup: Congrats to everyone who won a class!

Can't wait to see your car again. First time had to be like 3 years ago or so, cause I still had my Cobra and was trying to dial it in. Heard something rip down the track, look up and see the wagon click off like a 9 I think. Lol. Very cool car. :thumbup:

It's the kitchen, I had to give you some sort of shit right? Dude, pulling the paddles every shift can be extremely taxing on my index finger muscles!

Hell, I was looking at it like a V6 all weather DD machine with Nav and heated seats, against a V8 purpose built drag car :gabe: LOL. But sandbagging aside, count me in! (ps. I <3 cobras Miss mine all the time)

Just realized I have never raced Anthony in all these years. So toss the Angry Bird on my list. Let's make it race #1 Anthony, deal?

Locked! Screen shot taken for prosperity. Lol

I honestly don't know what the True Street is running tree wise. Either way, I'm not scared

That'll be cake walk! Lol Let's lock this shit in for money!!!

Lol. You never ran the gtr on a pro tree...

Back to shit talking How much track do I have to spot you Jones? 500ft? :gabe:

Yeah launching the car is easy as it gets..... But what I meant was, from the time you let off the brake, to the time the car drops the clutch, it takes over .400 (the time between first light and GO on a pro tree) (From what I've seen from dropping the brake to moving is about .650 which would make my best possible light .150 Now you could attempt to "guess" and do better. I cut a -.009 guessing once. Again this is just talking pro tree) I've heard there are TCM tweaks that speed the process up, but haven't seen them in person. The problem doesn't matter as much on a sportsman tree because you can go "between bulbs" to compensate.

Sportsman yes Pro is tough. The car has more "hardware delay" than .500 so I'll never cut a perfect pro light. Not sure if that even makes sense. It's hard to explain.

Victim #1..... Check!

It's time for a kitchen call out thread

It's that time! Let's hear it, who's gonna walk who? :gabe: P.S. Who wants a piece of a slow, stock turbo, stock drivetrain, V6 Nissan?

Trophies are in: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/B76C8A6C-5B76-4AE0-B466-0753EB8473FE_zpskguq6eyv.jpg

Trophies are in! http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/B76C8A6C-5B76-4AE0-B466-0753EB8473FE_zpskguq6eyv.jpg

10 trophies up for grabs

Not sure if it was mentioned, but in addition to the 9.00, 10.00, 11.00, 12.00, 13.00, 14.00, and 15.00 Indexes there will also be 3 other trophies up for grabs. Quickest ET overall Highest Trap overall Best Reaction Time overall.

Glad to be a part of it again :thumbup: Now, to go after one of those trophies myself or not... that is the question :gabe:

Funny enough man, I don't think that we are as polar opposite in opinion as it would seem. (That probably goes for almost all of us in here) I think most of us are in the "middle" (between the left and right) but we end up grasping for extremities to make our points, making us appear WAY conservative, or WAY liberal. The fact is this... this country has A LOT of problems. There is no singular cause or repair. I truly believe we all need to look in the mirror and ask what we OURSELVES can do better before pointing the finger at any other group. (No matter what group you currently fall into) Nice post btw. :thumbup:

I'm talking REALLY simple math here. SOME tax receipts are more than ZERO tax receipts. You cant compare taking less of someones money ("tax loopholes") to flat out giving someone something they never had (welfare) I'm not saying welfare shouldn't exist. I'm saying comparing corporate tax breaks to individual welfare is laughable. The two things couldn't be further apart in practice. There you go. Everyone's situation is always due to EVERY factor except themselves. Praise the government, praise society. Let me ask you this, we all live under the same government and live in the same society... why don't we all live the same lifestyle? In the equation of life in the US.. our government and society are the constants... we as individuals are the variable. Hence my harping on self responsibility. I don't think anyone is suggesting cutting off welfare spending. That was never my point. My point was everyone pointing at "the 1%" as the problem, are equally themselves the problem with inequality. Why is everyone so hung up on being equal. This country is about equal OPPORTUNITY not equal lives. I never said the welfare queens were ruining the country, I said if we all spent as much time figuring out how to build up our own lives, as we spent trying to tear others down, we would all be better off. What facts? this? That is nothing more than playing semantics. Most would consider all of the following "welfare programs" Health $2,648.42 * Includes $1,182.83 for Medicaid * Includes $36.54 for Children's Health Insurance Program Unemployment and Labor $843.21 * Includes $63.82 for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families * Includes $23.25 for Job Training and Employment Programs Food and Agriculture * $299.12 for SNAP (food stamps) Housing and Community $5.09 Which adds up to more like 38% of tax spending.

I would love for you to quote a source on this statement. From everything I have researched roughly 70% (in the USA) of wealth has been "self made" and only 30% has come from inheritance. http://moneytipcentral.com/self-made-vs-inherited-billionaire-fortunes http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/britains-ultra-wealthy---how-rich-4692254 Skill and amount of labor for lower income jobs has also remained almost unchanged. So the value remains equal. CEOs however are responsible for 100x as many employees (companies have grown huge) and 100x as much revenue. Their responsibilities have grown, and their income went with it. Capital gains tax IS lower now, but do you have any idea what would happen to the average Joe's 401k if you significantly raised it? Raising cap gains to previous levels would remove the incentive for investment, and all the big money would pull out before the new rate took place. You could pretty much guarantee the Dow getting cutting in half (along with your 401k value) http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2012/01/18/opinion/011812krugman3/011812krugman3-blog480.jpg Now you just sound crazy. Just so I understand this clearly... you TRULY believe that the current administration is "hell bent on increasing inequities" What do you think would be a fair minimum wage? Do you understand how inflation works? You realize that most of the tax loopholes are corporate tax loopholes that KEEP THESE COMPANIES IN THE USA? Go ahead and close the loopholes, and watch the companies move operations overseas. Only problem now is you didn't increase NET tax receipts for the goverment, you decreased them. You also just lost a bunch of jobs.. Your first part of this comment is basically you explaining market efficiency. This is the backbone of a free market society. In the second part of your comment you bitch about board members voting to pay dividends. You do realize that in a publicly traded company, stock holders are OWNERS of the company, right? God forbid a business owner(s) turn a profit and vote to keep some of that for themselves. In the last part I will reiterate my earlier point. The tax breaks are to incentivise the company to do business somewhere, be it local, state, or in the country. Again, these tax breaks are not approved by some slick politician getting his palm waxed, like it's happening in your head. These are governmental bodies who do the math on tax revenues, and make the cuts needed to prevent the business from going elsewhere (again, a different city state or country) These aren't welfare handouts. This is the government taking less of THE COMPANIES money, to ensure that they are atleast getting some of it. Again, coming full circle to earlier... find me these sources stating that all this wealth is inherited. The sources I am seeing show 70% + of it being self made, which destroys your narrative. I'm not even close to being rich. I would venture to guess you and I have fairly close household incomes. The only difference is, I accept PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for my lack of wealth. I'm not hung up on everyone "above me" on the totem pole. Good for them. The sooner you accept personal responsibility for your position in life, no matter good or bad, the happier you will be.
